A Rainy Day in the Zillertal – The Best Indoor Tips from Mine to Cheese Dairy
A holiday in the Zillertal means fresh mountain air, impressive peaks and countless outdoor adventures. But even when the mountains are wrapped in clouds and a rainy day in the Zillertal is on the cards, there's no reason to stay cooped up in your apartment.
On the contrary: these are precisely the days when you discover the valley's many exciting indoor experiences – from historic mines and traditional cheese dairies to adventure pools for the whole family.
From our Goldmarie apartment house in Aschau im Zillertal, you can reach many of these destinations in a short time. Thanks to our central location, our house is the ideal base for exploring the valley in any weather.
1. Underground Adventure at the Schwaz Silver Mine
While rain gently falls outside, a real adventure begins deep inside the mountain. A visit to the Schwaz Silver Mine is one of the most impressive excursions in the region.
The journey itself is special: you travel deep into the mountain on a small mining train, just as the miners did in the past. Within minutes, you're immersed in a completely different world: dark tunnels, mysterious passages and fascinating stories from the era of medieval mining.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, Schwaz was one of Europe's most significant mining centres. Thousands of miners worked underground here, extracting silver and copper. During the guided tour, you'll learn just how hard – and yet fascinating – this work was.

2. Experience Tradition at the Zillertal Show Cheese Dairy
The Zillertal is known not only for its mountains but also for its culinary specialities. A particularly delightful experience is a visit to a show cheese dairy – for example, the Zillertal Hay Milk Dairy in Fügen.
Here you can see up close how traditional cheese is made from fresh mountain milk. Large windows offer a direct view into production, while information boards and short videos explain the process.

3. Aquatic Fun for the Whole Family at the Erlebnistherme Zillertal
When the rain gets heavier, there's a place in the Zillertal where the weather suddenly no longer matters: the Erlebnistherme Zillertal in Fügen.
This modern adventure pool is a paradise for families. While the kids zoom down water slides or splash in the wave pool, adults can relax in the warm pool or enjoy the wellness area.
